That plus the pseudonym suggests the author's real name probably sounds something like "Ali Baksheesh bin Queef al-Poof", or maybe "Omar the Child-Seller".

Or maybe David P. Goldman -- senior editor of First Things, the Roman Catholic philosophical magazine.

And if you read the article, his comments are pro-Israel and anti-Palestinian.

Some criticisms of US Foreign Policy do make good sense. Like when "Spengler" writes (here I paraphrase), "We shouldn't be giving weapons to the Palestinians, they'll just use them to fight the Israelis". Makes sense to me.

Or maybe David P. Goldman -- senior editor of First Things, the Roman Catholic philosophical magazine.

Are you sure he wrote it? That the pseudonym is his?

It's easy to forget, if you don't know the author is a Catholic, that Catholics like John McLaughlin (and sometimes Wm. F. Buckley) have been critics of U.S. policy on very Catholic "just war theory" grounds.

If one is not aware that the bashing is being administered by a "just war" theorist, or a faithful Catholic defender of that doctrine, one might take the hostility toward U.S. policy to have arisen from enthusiasm for either Palis, or Leftism.
